Guest wellibob Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/05/app-rev...3d-for-android/ This looks nice... don't know if it works on the Vega though. Also $15 which is a bit steep I tried this sdp new 3d shell. Whilst it ran on my Galaxy S phone ok`ish, on the vega, it force closes. Its pretty, but you do need a super speed phone to run it at its best.
Guest PurpleRob Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 It says that its not tablet compatible.
Guest Lennyuk Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Its a nice gimmick, it seems more suited to be sold to a carrier as a stock launcher.... its not worth the £10 at all.
Guest ViPaSoft Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Used an earlier version on my old windows phone and it was brilliant. It didn't seem to slow down the phone at all and had lots of widgets built in. I used it for a couple of years and was looking forward to giving it a go on my Vega, but they decided to make it non-tablet compatible, which seems a strange route to take with all the current interest in tablet computers.
Guest Disinform Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I just tried this again, if anyone's interested, on the CM7 beta build, and it runs quite nicely.
Guest jp514 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I just tried this again, if anyone's interested, on the CM7 beta build, and it runs quite nicely. Does it have landscape support yet?
Guest Disinform Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Does it have landscape support yet? Nope. Doubt that's going to be around for a while, if ever - seems pretty much portrait oriented, been running it on my Streak for a week now and can't see how you'd get it working in landscape without making it look awful. Still I love my Vega in portrait, gives it a bookish feel. Edited April 6, 2011 by Disinform

Still I love my Vega in portrait, gives it a bookish feel. I wrote the review for coolsmartphone, whilst reviewing I spoke to the developers who suggested landscape support would be coming soon. If this ever happens though is another matter.
Guest Minimonkey Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 This looks pretty cool would like support for tablets, but the price is too high.
Guest newbe5 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 This looks pretty cool would like support for tablets, but the price is too high. It's not really designed for tablets at all, even if it worked, the UI just isn't the best layout and would waste a lot of space on the larger screens. They will know this, which is why they won't be spending too much time developing this for tablets tbh. It's great on a phone when you can flash it to your friends down the pub, but how many of you take your tablet to the pub? Seems they should have been pitching this at a manufacturer to have it bundled on phones... Maybe they did but it fell flat? Who knows? newbe5
Guest SeiferTV Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Maybe should try Regina Launcher. it's free, it runs on the vega, and offers a lot of cool features :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXhtxecPHr8 Edited April 19, 2011 by SeiferTV

No matter what I do (settings GSensor, Spare Parts etc) I can't get it into Landscape. Didn't see anything cool in the video, what's it got then? Cheers

Didn't see anything cool in the video, what's it got then? Cheers lol! For some reason I've never tested on landscape, and no, it doesn't switch to landscape ( not my default launcher, I'm using VTL ) On the plus side for this Launcher: Individual wallpapers for each desktop, cool consistent-looking widgets ( can be downloaded separatedly from the market ) , VERY fluid and the eye candy doesn't look like it's overcrowding the screen. You can also place the icons without following a strict grid as every other launcer I've seen before. It's actually well implemented, but that landscape issue is a big buzzkill.
Guest simonta Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Yeh, that's a shame. Sounds good otherwise. Thanks.
Guest Minimonkey Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Emailed spb regarding tablet support and maybe a price drop and this is their reply: Thank you for your message and interest in SPB Software. We are working on it. Please follow our further updates.
